ADHD and gaming addiction in adolescents: psychosocial mediators in the adolescent brain cognitive development study.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: Children with ADHD are at increased risk for developing gaming addiction, but the psychosocial mechanisms underlying this relationship remain poorly understood. This study aimed to identify factors that mediate this risk. Method: We analyzed data from three consecutive waves (Years 2-4) of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Results: Children with ADHD had significantly higher VGAQ scores over time, with an average increase of 1.3 points ( Conclusion: Prosocial peer involvement, school engagement, and family conflict emerged as key psychosocial pathways linking ADHD to gaming addiction. These findings have important public health implications and suggest that strengthening peer networks and family environments may be effective targets for intervention in children with ADHD.
